we're saving for her college education. more than anything, sheila and i want to be able to offer our daughter the life that parents dream of for their child, a life full of achievement and respect. however, when we suffer the inequity of unfair treatment under the law, we cannot do that for her. currently, we pay tax on medical insurance. it's considered income for us, but not for couples who enjoy full marriage equality. under the current law, our estate is taxed as if we're giving a gift to a friend when, in fact, we work together to gain everything we have. our family exists and needs the rights, benefits and obligations that civil marriage provides. without these rights my wife would have to pay inheritance tax on the life we built together should she outlive me. we would not be eligible to receive each other's social security benefits when one of us passes away. we would cut the amount of monthly income in of half, but you know and i know that the bills don't get cut in half. this would come at a time in the life when
